So.. this is my first story on this site. :3 Please R&R, I really hope you like this, I worked pretty hard. :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the characters, Blahblah. You know the drill.

The year was 1852. I was fifteen years old and my name was Apple, like the fruit. My first name, Jade. I also happened to be the single thing that the Volturi wanted more than anything else in the world. I was the answer to their problems... or was I just the cause of it all?

That night would be the last night that I would ever truly live. But of course, I didn't know that. I didn't know anything.

I was still a mere pawn in their chessboard, though destined to become the queen.

I ran though the empty alleyways, my eyes darting side to side.

My breath choked out, half strangled due to my anxiety. I tried to avoid stepping in puddles, but before long my grey coat was splashed with water. Rain poured down, soaking my hair and dress. I did not care.

Lightning flashed once more, lighting up the city of Chicago. There was no one for miles about. Everyone slept peacefully in their beds, safe as ever. But not me. The thunder crashed and a scream escaped my lips. Some might be awake now, but they would not dare coming out.

The midnight moon hid behind a cloud as if it was shielding it's eyes.

"Jade Apples, what a peculiar name." He breathed down my neck. I turned. He was gone. Cold arms wrapped around my waist.

"Father! Amalia! Marcus!" I screamed for my family. They did not reply, nor did they hear my cries.

Cold lips traced my neck and cool hands slithered into mine.

My lips trembled as I was slapped with the sudden realisation that this might very well be the last few minutes of my life.

I turned to face him, to see his skin, the very colour of bone almost glowing in the darkness. Most of his face was covered by his dark hair that hung low over his eyes. A mischievous smile played at his lips as he leaned forwards to press them against my neck once more.

Lightning stuck again and for a brief second I saw his eyes.

His crimson coloured eyes.

"My name is Jett Volturi." He whispered into my neck. "There will be a girl named Alice Cullen. You will need to find her. Remember that." Jett's lips parted and his teeth bit into my neck.

I didn't even scream. I couldn't even if I wanted to.

"I love you, Jade Apple." He said, kissing my lips softly before pulling himself up to his full height, at least a head taller than me.

And with that, he disappeared into the night.

Woo!

First chapter. :3 Very very short.
